# short_url
This is a simple application to short you urls with your own web server.
It is based on Nodejs and Redis.
You will have to change the IPs in the `index.js` and `./public/index.html` files to your public IP or domain.
To start the server simply execute `index.js`:
```
screen -A -m -d -S short_url nodejs index.js
```
It's recommended to use a reverse proxy like nginx to manage SSL certificates etc.

A test instance is running under [s.adb.sh](https://s.adb.sh).
